Got the Time
Honestly? Anthrax took a really good stab at a great song -- but I just love the original too much. Sorry.

I'm glad someone else wrote the song, but no one does it like Anthrax! It's tight, it's fast, it drives hard, a perfect fit for Scott and the boys! Anyone can make a good chocolate cake, but no one makes one better than my grandmother. Joe did good, Anthrax did better!

Considering the era, JJ's kicks ass, even though all this time I thought it was an Anthrax original. Anthrax did it justice!!

Joe Jackson's version is amazing. So many artists have claimed him as an influence. Kudos to Anthrax for doing this cover. Joe's version is as tight as it comes. Listen to the whole album for a lesson on how it's done.

I have to go with the Joe Jackson version, though I think Anthrax does a truly fantastic (and faithful) cover. Heard the original back in high school (yeah, in the 80's) and it's been a favorite ever since.

For over 15 years I thought that this was an Anthrax original.

I never even heard of Joe Jackson before Anthrax did this cover. The original sounds to "Punky" for me. Even though Punk was the step father to Heavy Metal, I hate it. So in my opinion: to all the early punk bands... thanks for the push start, we'll take it from here.

I heard the Joe Jackson version on a snowboard vid, then went to find it on the interweb and simultaneously found the Anthrax version.
They are my 1st and 2nd favourite songs at the mo', with Joe Jackson winning by a tiny margin for simplicity.

Scott Ian and Anthrax did the song justice. It's tighter that ne JJ version and I hate sloppy music so I have to go with the Anthrax version

I only found out last night that Joe Jackson had done the original, after watching a re-run of "My name is Earl"! I knew the Anthrax one was a cover, but not of which artist. Loved the Anthrax copy for years (I bought the album in Kuwait City after Gulf War 1), but time has mellowed me and the JJ version just shades it
